A new hair care product embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure will be described.
The hair care composition described herein is utilized by a person to provide moisture and shine to their hair without building up I the hair. Generally, the hair care composition includes a mixture of olive oil, a hair curl controlling cream, Vitellaria paradoxa (shea) butter and baby oil cream.
More specifically, the composition comprises a mixture of:
-
- 1) 55% to 65% by weight of a hair curl controlling cream, wherein the hair curl controlling cream includes water, canola oil, glycerin, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, Vitellaria paradoxa butter, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice and Cocos nucifera oil (Coconut);
- 2) 25% to 35% by weight unrefined Vitellaria paradoxa butter;
- 3) 7% to 11% by weight baby oil cream, said baby oil including water and mineral; and
- 4) 1% to 3% olive oil.
The above ingredients are blended together to achieve a homogenous mixture that results in a cream which has enough viscosity that it cannot be poured out of a container but which retains a creamy consistency.
Hair curl controlling creams are ubiquitous in the hair care arts and typically comprise a combination of water, oils and fragrances. Once such suitable hair curl controlling cream is Cantu Coconut Curling Cream available from AB Brands, 5501 LBJ Freeway, Suite 900, Dallas, Tex. This particular hair curl controlling cream includes water, canola oil, glycerin, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, fragrance, Vitellaria paradoxa butter (Shea), ceteth-20, glycol stearate, petrolatum, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera), Cocos nucifera oil (Coconut), Simmondsia chinensis seed oil (Jojoba), Glycine soja Oil (Soybean), Persea gratissima oil (Avocado), Prunus Amygdalus dulcis oil (Sweet Almond), Mangifera indica (Mango) seed butter, Olea Europaea fruit oil (Olive), Macadamia ternifolia seed oil (Macadamia), Melia azadirachta seed oil (Neem), Daucus Carota sativa seed oil (Carrot), Argania spinosa kernel oil (Argan), silk amino acids, Lonicera japonica flower extract (Honeysuckle), Laminara cloustoni extract (Sea Kelp), Salvia officinalis (Sage) leaf extract, Vitis vinifera seed extract (Grape), Urtica dioica extract (Nettle), PEG-75, polyquaternium-10, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin.
The 25% to 35% Vitellaria paradoxa butter is 100% unrefined shea butter and may be purchased from any one of numerous suppliers. One such supplier is MJ Cosmetics, 11 Elkhorn Court, North Lakes, Queensland Australia.
The baby oil cream is typically a mineral oil which is mixed with water and blended with stabilizers to achieve a creamy consistency which is more viscous than regular baby oil. Such creams are widely available though one suitable brand is Angel of Mine creamy baby oil available from Greenbrier International Inc., 500 Volvo Parkway, Chesapeake, Va. 23320.
The olive oil would generally comprise virgin olive oil. Such is ubiquitously found in grocery stores and no particular brand is preferred.
In use, the composition a light weight cream that is applied to a person's hair for deep conditioning or as a daily moisturizer. The composition corrects dryness in a person's hair and will add shine to the hair.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
